Education Sex Compulsory

I personally do not think we should be talking about sex education for anyone under the age of 10. I feel that kids as young as 4 will not fully understand what is going on and should not know what is going on. As they get older you can talk to you kids as parents. No I am against this compulsory sex ed for these young kids.

I think 10 is too late as many are already sexually active at this age and large number are by 13. many girls by the age of 10 can conceive even though they may not look the part of being completely ready.

I started both of my boy at the age of 4, why because they started asking questions and noting moms shape is very different from theirs and dad. We are very open with them when they ask but we put it in terms that are appropriate for the age.

Thank goodness we fish it made it easier for me as they understood embryos and sperm sacks before they were 4. All they need to know is the basics man and woman can make babies and the names of the body parts along with appropriate touching and hugging. Also helps to protect them from perverts.

We are now with out 10 year old talking more about the feeling of a relationship and how they relate to sexual activity. He is getting these feelings and his body is starting to change to manhood. The hair does not lie.


So for those children whose parent will never talk to them about sex them I say this at least gives them a chance at an education rather then the school of hard knocks.

I think I have mentioned in a different thread that my sons class mate mentioned she was having sex with her brother. It turned out innocent enough this time. She was 9 or 10 so when is the right age I do not know. I do know if the child is asking questions they need to be answered or they will go and find the answer on their own and I can safely say the results will be negative not positive on the rest of their lives.

I can understand answering their questions truthfully and telling them what is appropriate hugging and touching. But I would not go ito great detail with a 4 year old. As they get older yes. I threw the age 10 out there because that is when mine asked the harder more specific questions. I have no problem answering their questions I just do not think that sex ed should be compulsory.

That is the hard par KNtoran should it be mandatory? I do not know about your location but in the GTA 80 plus percent of the girls graduate with babies in arms or had abortions.

It has been proven that those who know about and understand sex are able to wade through that nonsense and make it out to go on and be productive and have a much easier time of it.

I grew up like you it was different. A single girls pregnant was embarrassing and was scorned. As an adult things changed quick as every one knew about birth control. The the issue became STD's.

I am nervous as to what the education board will deem appropriate so maybe grade 2 or 3 at the latest is the time to start. From people who I trust, I have heard that some are sexually active as young as 9 or 10 mostly girls being taken advantage of by older boys.

Our children are Ok but what can we do to help the rest? Also it is a way to ease the social peer pressure on our own as well till at least they get well into puberty or through it.


It does mean as parents we get in the boards face as to what they children are taught religion aside.

I know there are some young ones that sneak peeks at their parents tapes or porn magazines and that is how they know but at 4 years old what you going to know about? That is just wrong.

Compulsory Sex Education

Beowolf how is it wrong to educate a 4 year old in that it is wrong to let another person touch their sexual organs and what the names of their sexual organs are. No one would not tell them the details of how babies are made. But they do have to know enough to know what is right or wrong. Many do not get this information at home this leaves them vulnerable to predators who can be only a few years older then them.


Put up your hand if you ever played doctor/show and tell with the girl next door. Yes this is what I am talking about innocent curiosity being taken advantage of by another who knows better.

This lays the foundation for later talks.

Nothing wrong with teaching them about protecting themslves, but not intercourse and all that.
